Dozens of settlers, who lived in the Ein Ad illegal settlement that was evacuated by the army nearly two months ago, came to the former settlement and violently attacked a shepherd identified as Ibrahim Fayez Hasan before killing two of his sheep.

Following the attack, several residents clashed with the settlers and the Israeli army arrived at the scene to kidnap resident Mazin Farhan, 17, instead of removing the settlers from the area. Sarhan was moved to an unidentified location.

Dozens of residents clashed with the invading soldiers and settlers; no injuries were reported.
